Not as a top pair guy but to just sit him on the 3rd pair and mentor kids. That’s be solid. But again, that would be for a 5th at most and I’d be more inclined to acquire him as a cap dump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Keith’s Cap hit is 5.54M for 2 years or so but he’s only owed 3.6M total the next 2 years (2.1 this year, 1.5 next). Feels like a budget trade for the Oilers to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. It's TSN and really Rogers Sportsnet now that have it all, ESPN is a specialty channel maybe. We follow the Espy's cause any big American cultural event is ipso facto a "thing" here because your popular culture is ours, but I don't think many canadians would be voting in an ESPN poll, if it was even open to Canadians.

If you can get him to sign an extension then your first and a lesser player than the two mentioned then you make the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Keith somehow garnered a solid prospect and a 3rd while having no salary retained. Personally I would offered a 5th depending on what our D looked like after the draft and trades but to give up 2 alright assets is bonkers. Cant ever underestimate the value of veteran leadership for a team. Something the Sabres have been lacking since Black Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Rinne retiring makes me feel old. Miller retiring was one thing, he was a rookie when I was still a teenager. But Rinne came in later and now he's done too? I must be getting to that time in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something the Sabres have been lacking since Black Sunday. This. Remember when everyone was so sure that the Habs were crazy for trading PK for Weber? I'll predict that the Keith trade makes the Oilers a better team. Keith still knows what to do and he still has enough juice in his legs to play -- he averaged over 23 min per game last season. Edmonton gave up a 24-year-old defenseman whose ice time has dropped from almost 20 min to 14 min to 13.5 min per game over the last 3 years. I would've traded one of the Sabres' glut of lower-pairing defensemen for Keith in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
